motivation: pinky and i decided to eat here on a whim. to explore strange new restaurants, to seek out new rolls and new nigiri, to boldly go where neither one had gone before. and we heard it was cheap.
you see is at 94 judah, between 5th & 6th avenues, near the UCSF medical center (you see, u-c, get it?) they seem to cater to students and take-out, so the average $2.15 per nigiri is a kickin' deal.
quality: good enough. no super interesting rolls or specials to die for but the standards are there and the sizes are generous enough. they do have natto on the menu and i dare you all to try it and then send me a comment or two.
belly: average full. you'd think i would have stuffed myself for such a bargain but frankly, the ambiance slowed me down.
notables: carrot sticks appetizer for everyone (the ucsf dental program might have had something to do with that) and they're open on mondays. not sure if that's good or bad. also, the water tasted fishy, so we were FORCED to drink beer. ah, the sacrifices i make in the line of duty...
pinky noted the quality of the lighting (not bad) and i was aware of a background of KISQ slow jams and love songs. this, not surprisingly, brought the flirtability level down, though it couldn't have gone much lower since the waitress was really tired and there was no one else in the whole place.
i predict that i'll be back, some other monday near the end of the month when i have no money and am jonesing for sushi again and content to keep the evening mellow. see you there.
itadakimasu!
